About us
We understand that during difficult times it can be hard to know who to turn to. Sometimes your thoughts and feelings can leave you and those who are important to you, struggling to cope.
At KPG, our counselling sessions offer you a safe space to talk about the issues you are facing and explore difficult feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.
We have a team of qualified and student counsellors from a wide range of counselling and psychotherapy backgrounds who are experienced in a diverse range of therapies.
Our counselling sessions are flexible and open to individuals, couples, and families. We will aim to see you as quickly as possible, and our team of qualified and trainee counsellors can tailor sessions to offer you both long and short-term support.
Counselling isn’t about offering advice, instead our experienced counsellors will offer you the chance to talk about issues you’re facing. They will also explore any difficult feelings, as well as discuss coping mechanisms to enable you to move forward.
We are able to offer counselling support face to face (Covid-19 restrictions permitted), via telephone or virtual online chat. If you would like to find out more, email here or call 0121 565 5605.
Counselling can help you to better understand your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Here at KPG we understand that talking through your problems may take time as we develop a therapeutic relationship.
As a result, we don’t put a limit on the number of sessions you’ll receive, we work at your pace. You may find that two sessions are enough or you may wish to continue over a longer period of time. Here at KPG we offer flexibility of sessions, offering both short and long term therapy to suit your needs. Your dedicated counsellor will work with you so that you can review your progress throughout the duration of therapy.
At KPG you’ll be listened to without judgement so that you can move your life in a positive direction.
Counselling can help with anxiety, stress, depression, self harm or suicidal thoughts, loss and bereavement and sexuality and gender identity. It can also help you overcome trauma, work-related stress, a relationship breakdown and low self esteem as well as many other issues.
It may be that you feel down but are not sure why. If you find yourself in this position, please contact us, one of our KPG counsellors will be in touch to explore this with you and figure out the best way forward. You may be invited to attend an assessment where we will be able to speak to you about how we might be able to help and find you the most appropriate support.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our service is made up of both qualified and volunteer counsellors and therapists in training, who provide sessions as part of their professional development and qualifications. All of our counsellors are supported with both external monthly clinical supervision, as well as both in-house supervision and peer supervision with our team of supervisors and mentors. Our training therapists are not paid for their work and dedicate their time so that we can support you and keep the cost of our sessions both affordable and of the highest quality.
Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

We understand that paying for therapy can be an unexpected cost for some, however, we believe that this is an investment in you and your future as well as in your quality of life, mental health and wellbeing.
Because we are a well-established and a nationally recognised service this means we are able to offer you an appointment very soon, and we pride ourselves on having a great team and short waiting lists unlike other services. We believe this is so important in ensuring we can get the support you need to you as soon as possible, as we often leave our worries to last and we can struggle to ask for help.
As we are a charity we do have to charge for our sessions, however on occasion we do receive funding to support our local communities. On occasion, this means we may be able to reduce the cost for you to receive support. Whilst this isn’t always possible we are always here to talk and offer some support should you need it.
